How Blockchain Will Transform Education

[Kargai]

A recent study made by the European Commission's science and knowledge service mention that "blockchain will end paper based certificates, automate the award, recognition and transfer of credits, increase learner ownership and control over their own data, reduce institutional data costs and risk--but only if open standards are adopted"

They recognize that actually an educationnal application of the blockchain is still at a baby level but things can become more credible in the coming years. The University of Nicosia for example is already playing with it and since 2015, the MIT Media Lab has been using Blockcerts for issuing digital certificates.

Well if this will really be fully implemented in all school universities I think all lazy students will have a party for this since they wont need to go to school just to attend the promotional ceremony and recognition days which is supposedly be physically introduced is gone anymore

Correct me if I'm wrong @Kargai but as what I understand about this, is that you will not need to go to registrar office of school where you graduated to have some docs needed. It will be accessible anywhere? And employer can verify it also online. Awesome thing about this is that you don't need to worry about losing any documents because all you have to do is just to remember your account and password. Brilliant innovation  it will be in the future. 

Yes, brilliant innovations. But in connection with the development of these technologies, we are becoming vulnerable. All our personal data will be on the network. And as we know in connection with the growth of hacker attacks, we will not be safe. Worry about losing documents is not necessary, but you need to be afraid that someone can use them for their dirty purposes.

yes exactly what blockchain meant to be so soon,  blockchain is very important to us right now, and there are many people still don't know what blockchain use to be in our daily needs... So this will be the basic principle of what blockchain use to be!
